Beautiful beach area along the river with picinic table and grill a few feet away. Sitting there with your feet in the sand watching the river flow swiftly by carrying an occasional kyaker, you get lost. All the worries get swept up by the white waters and disappear. Don't be surprised if you have loatman hour or two when you return to reality. The surroundings are gorgeous, with colors so fresh and vivid. The greens of the trees and bushes stand out against the tan, red, grey,mand black sand, and it is all wrapped around the cool fresh blues in the river. It's a must see/feel stop! Not to mention when traveling highway 55, you are going to welcome every opportunity to pull off for a breath and to let the person behind you, that is so obviously in a big hurry, go around you! Don't worry though because there's a sherrif along there who will not turn his head to traffic violators, so chances are you will see that rushed follower again just up the road being given a lesson in following the rules of operating a motor vehicle. Its a beautiful drive along the river if someone else has the task of manuevering around the corners along the narrow highway. Which is why I give it 4 stars and not 5!
